Directed this one together with @williams_twinss
A collaboration that really pushed me.
We both have taste, that’s the common ground. But our execution is completely different. I’m used to extracting the maximum out of a setting with multiple angles, giving myself options in the edit and building the rhythm later. They were focused on one shot per scene. One frame to tell it all.
That shift was fascinating.
When you treat a shot like a moving photograph, every detail matters. Composition. Micro movements. Choreography. Dialogue. Energy. We sometimes spent two hours crafting a single shot, something I’d normally capture much faster.
It forced me out of my rush mode. Less coverage. More intention. Not three cool shots, but one master shot.
TYAR’ EN WAKA 🇸🇷
The phrase in Sranan Tongo, a creole language spoken in Suriname.
It translates as "Keep going”. It conveys the idea of continuing through challenges in life or never giving up.
~~~
We went to Suriname to shoot a music video for Jonna Fraser. After five days of filming, we created a piece of art that visualizes the meaning of the song.
Shout-out to everyone who helped us make this happen ❤️🔥
Something blue, Something raw, Something that wasn’t planned but felt right.
An opportunity from Avalon, inspiration from Curtis,
and a moment that took everything to another level.
Grateful for the crew that helped bringing this project to life.

Lost files of shots that I made a while ago and felt like posting today.
Always been inspired by contrast.
Trappers going wild in the rain while classical music plays in the background just felt epic to me.
Super excited to finally share this.
What you’re seeing now is actually just the short form, a different approach than the usual music video. This time it was an official announcement for @gordoszn residency at @pachaofficial .
Gordo reached out to me to build something special around that moment.
Instead of just delivering a standard announcement, we created a film world around the announcement.
Next week the full version drops, the full experience.
TIME JUMPER ~ Short Film
This one is special.
Not for a client.
Not commissioned.
Just pure creation.
Last year I was on the phone with the @williams_twinss talking about how dope it would be to make a film together.
Months later… we made it happen.
Self-initiated.
Self-funded.
We took the risk and just did it. For something bigger than money.
During the brainstorm we let everything go.
No safe ideas.
Just experimenting.
The core idea:
A film inside a dream.
Where everything moves in reverse.
Inspired by Inception (dream within a dream)
and Tenet (a world running backwards).
Big love to the crew that joined as a favor.
Believed in it.
Showed up.
Built it with us.
This is what happens when you stop waiting
and start creating.
